Once while he was skating, a ball had crossed his way. In playing with it, he realized that one of the games he loved to play, the “kick the pine cone”, would work better with a football.
He presented the idea to his friends a bit later, and they started to play with no other rule than scoring goals and this how Roller Soccer was born.Afterwards, Zack Phillips kept-on promoting Roller Soccer, spreading the discipline outside the US borders.
Roller Soccer spreading all over the World…
Little by little, through meetings between French and American skaters especially during the Friday night skate of San Francisco, the idea came to the minds of some French skating lovers. The first contact took place in 1999 between Planet Roller and the associations present during that night skate, including Zack Phillips.
The first Roller Soccer club of France was born in Caen in 2001. That year, Caen Roller Soccer Association becomes the first club of the discipline in France and even in Europe.
During years 2001-2003, Roller Soccer Germany and Roller Soccer France were created.
Roller Soccer was introduced to the school children and on selected play grounds, which had a cement flooring and other supporting floors. As the demand and popularity increased more and more peoples from all the streams started to enquire for Coaches and personal classes.
